Judge of Probate Newkirk is well known to have a weakness for old curiosities, particularly fire arms. Today he received something out of this line it being a wooden brace made 60 years ago by a German by the name of Bluebusch, in Monroe county. It was picked up by Edward Howard, of Lansing, formerly a resident of Augusta township. The handle is turned and the whole shows great ingenuity, particularly the catch which is to hold the bit. In the days when this brace was made, iron was worth much more a pound than it is today.
